There are a lot of questions and answers regarding the best PDF viewer available with Ubuntu, but I want to parse the PDF file and know details of PDF, such as images, fonts and links that are available in a given PDF file.

Are there any PDF metadata viewer/tag editors available?

View pdf metadata for a file called Example.pdf:
```
pdfinfo Example.pdf  
```

Edit existing metadata in the terminal using nano editor:

pdftk Example.pdf dump_data output Metadata-output.txt

nano Metadata-output.txt

Update metadata:

pdftk Example.pdf update_info Metadata-output.txt output Example-new.pdf

_{Nano editor keyboard shortcuts}

_{Use the keyboard combination Ctrl + O and after that press Enter to save the file to its current location.}

_{Use the keyboard combination Ctrl + X to exit nano.}
